Green party President Peter Sinkamba has charged people on the Copperbelt have not benefited from President Edgar Lungu’s recent visit apart from PF members.
Mr. Sinkamba says the only thing Copperbelt residents benefited from the presidential visit was that during his visit some parts of the Copperbelt were not load shaded.
Mr. Sinkamba states that President Lungu did not address important issues affecting the Zambian people as evidenced from the way he handled issues affecting the miners and Mine owners.
He says President Lungu’s visit was more of a party visit where he was holding meetings with party members on the ground and holding rallies.
And Mr Sinkamba says the manner in which president Lungu handled the issue of retrenchments at Mopani Copper Mines will not work.
He says this is because Mopani Copper Mines is not answerable to the president and government but to its shareholders Glencore International who have given the directive to retrench workers.

Nowadays, Edgar Lungu is behaving like a mentally challenged person who is trying to draw water using a sefa. He goes to the Copperbelt only to insult and threaten teachers, miners, millers and union leaders including his political opponents.
What Edgar Lungu does, he has already destroyed his chances of being in State House beyond 2016. Believe or not wether Edgar Lungu is sick or not, the truth is that in 2016, he will lose to HH by a wide margin and that you be a very big shame especially to people like Kambwili whose defence for PF failure is said to be global.
Time is up for Lungu.

Its not true to say that Edgar Lungu’s visit has not benefited everyone. Why do i say?
I say so because the huge delegation that accompanied him benefited so much from the allowances they made. Are you telling me that Chishimba Kambwili has no gotten away with K100 000?
This is PF baba; the worst government since independence.

Autopilot is what Upnd is on.they think they deserve to rule this country because they are tongas who have not ruled this country before.they think they are next after bembas and ngonis.but remember,presidency must be fault fought for and try to convince the majority of our Zambian people.

You seem not to understand the word “Autopilot” If you really knew you wouldnt have mixed it with that tribal junk. So to avoid embarrassment (unnecessarily) just use words that you know or you are sure.

They feel PF its their party the way Tonfas feel about UPND. So its not about economy but suport what is yours. Go Bemba land prove me wrong

November 6, 2015 at 6:29 pm
look at Tanzania and CCM Zimbabwe and ZNPF. Tongas and UPND. ITS NOT ABOUT WORK BUT SUPORTING WHAT IS YOURS. LOZIS WILL STAND CLOSER TO PRESIDENCE IF THEY SUPORTED LUNGU. IF THEY GO TO HH THEN BEMBAS WILL BOUNCE BACK AFTER LUNGU in 2021. I feel for North western . They need to change their game plan
umuntu ni lungu.
November 6, 2015 at 6:38 pm
Kaondes and lozis can lead this country after lungu. you need less intellegence to find yourself in state house.when you suport lungu who is wining your voice will be heard when you claim for bigger positions in govt. Bembas feel PF is their party becoz they vote PF. Inonge was given vice presidence becoz she suported it.

I fill as a voter i need to know what plans the oppositions has for mother zambia, take for instance H.E MC Sata when he was in opposition stood and told us that i will make roads, create jobs, make schools, hospitals e.t.c and within 4 years of office even a blind person knows that Pf as delivered but one thing that i have seen in upnd is that they are too much oppositing than telling people what they do for people, Pf came up with plan of making roads they condemed it but when H.E MC Sata died hh said i will finish roads, on the mines issues he doen’t say any thing cause he knows that he is one of those who caused these problems in their privatisation and when he was asked how long it will take him to control things, he just said 5 years without telling us how he will do it, then whats the point changing government.
